    This is why Maidana is one of my favorite fighters now. I love when I see ifghters emotional and have a mean side to them. Pac/Clottey was a disgrace with touching gloves every second.

    Maidana came out like an angry bull ready to seek and destroy and I loved it. this is boxing not tap dancing!!!

    do us all a favor and just limit yourself to watching floyd because obviously he's the only boxer you can give credit to. maidana and khan fought their hearts out and gave us a good fight. this is what makes boxing great and exciting. the different styles, different intangibles from different boxers. you always **** on fights and look for flaws

    I think Maidana takes the rematch. After the first couple rounds he seemed to defend easily against Khan's flashy combos. He just lacked the gas to finish Khan and Khan got a bit lucky with Cortez helping him a bit too much even though Maidana is a dirty, mean fighter.

    Respect to Khan for taking this terrible matchup.

    Can't wait to see these 2 mix it up with Bradley and Alexander.

    Agreed, while I don't mind when boxers have respect to touch gloves. You shouldn't always expect it, especially when a fighter doesn't present himself as your friend. Maidana is a ****ing bull. Gotta love him. His determination is unparalleled in the sport today (Seemingly). Just great fortitude.

    He wasn't running scared. He was boxing smart. Either you take a knee or run and take pot shots like Khan was doing. Posters are saying if there was more time in the tenth, Khan would have been done. Okay, what about the first when Maidena looked like he was about to cry with that body shot. If there was more time, he most definitely would have been out. They both had to do what they had to do and Khan won. Maidana was asked if he wanted a rematch and he just said he will fight anyone. I wouldn't mind seeing them go at it again.

    Maidana is a guy that rarely gets the props he deserves, he is a warrior I was jumping and yelling off my couch in the tenth round
    "Come on Chino!!!!!!!! you can do this!!!

    Cortez was biased against Maidana! Took a point away for a dreamed up elbow that did not land. Remember when Cortez took a point away from Hatton for accidently hitting a ring rope?

    I was disappointed with his boxing but I was impressed on how he managed to weather those shots.

    khan was more faially marked because he took more bombs to the head...however ask el chino if he was hurting after this fight an he will admit to it. both guys showed grit in the face of adversity.

    another poiny is khan always marks up easily...even malignaggi marked him

    This is SO NOT TRUE.
    Take a poll. I think people would rather see this than someone run all night long pot shoting. (not saying Khan did just giving example)
    Take Gatti/Ward as a good example of neither man being a looser.
